Terrific Thursday!

Thursdays are terrific, right?  They mean only one more day until the weekend. And this weekend is a holiday weekend, which makes it even more terrific! :)

WORK
Last week, I showed the squares I contributed toward the Fundraiser Quilt that will be raffled off. Excitedly, we all laid out the squares... arranged, and rearranged the squares until we were all happy with the outcome. Here's the mock up of our squares:

Here's some close ups:

 

 

Each of us took a row and sewed the two-toned red sashing onto the squares. It was tricky seeing as some "quilters" weren't very accurate in their square sizes. I had to make sure each square was 12.5" and had to do some trimming and adding. Overall, I think my row turned out really well.

Over the weekend, a couple of the ladies finished sewing all the rows together and delivered the top, batting, and backing to the person who was to quilt it together for us.  Here's what it looks like *almost* finished:

I've already bought my raffle tickets!

STITCHY STUFF
A while back, I had won a blog giveaway hosted by Chris at Tot Hill Farm Stitches.  I had totally forgotten about it until the package arrived in the mail.  What a great surprise!

Thank you, Chris!

 

I finished the mailart exchange piece over the weekend, but can't show a photo until it reaches its new home.  I plan on getting to the P.O. this weekend so hopefully I can show it in a week or so.

I received Summer Splendor by Little House Needleworks as a "traveling pattern".  I started stitching on it this week and am about 1/2 finished.  Haven't gotten around to take a progress photo yet. 
Since I'm thinking it'll be finished soon, I think I'll just wait until I have a finish to show.

Until next time,
